The Kerala Water Metro is a pioneering initiative in water-based urban transportation in India. This study examines the integration of the Water Metro with other public transport systems in Kerala, highlighting challenges and opportunities. By analyzing passenger perceptions, operational barriers, and economic impacts, the research proposes strategies for seamless connectivity and enhanced user experiences. The study further explores how the Water Metro can serve as a model for similar initiatives in other coastal regions. It emphasizes the environmental benefits and discusses the socio-economic advantages of integrating water-based transport with urban transit systems. With growing urbanization, the relevance of sustainable transport solutions like the Water Metro is increasingly critical. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in the transport sector.
